PSA: My boss in Denver said 'you're the best tech we have' and I was still in my first year after dropping out

That was the moment I realized college had me convinced I was behind, when I was actually already doing the job. Anyone else have a boss or client give them a reality check like that?

My old manager said the same exact thing.

Did that make you change how you saw your own work after that?

Honestly, that line about being convinced you were behind hits home. I see this all the time where people, myself included, get stuck comparing their start to someone else's middle. Tbh, a lot of "being behind" is just a story we learn from school and then keep telling ourselves long after the class is over.
